Mindy was fuming, she had waited all her life for that opportunity and he knew it. The only thing she had asked for was some support, but he only made condescending remarks about her job. Of course, he, the brilliant bank director, the best in his job, the best in everything, couldn't fully understand what it meant for her to be able to go on a research trip to the African savannah to study its invertebrate life.
They had been together since high-school, when they still didn't know what would it become of their lives, and they ended up having nothing in common. She was a zoologist, he only cared about money. Mindy decided to go anyway, a little time apart would be good for both of them.
While in Africa she meet some very interesting people, and one of the most amazing men in the world. Klaus was working as a camera man for a Norwegian TV channel, he was blond, tall, funny, and he understood her. More than once it passed her mind to slip inside his tent, who would know amidst the savannah? Yet, it felt wrong.
Parting day arrived, Mindy hugged Klaus and promised to go pay him a visit as soon as she could. She got on the plane, still wondering if she should have stepped outside her boundaries. She arrived to their shared home in the middle of the night, wanting to give him a surprise. But she was the one who ended up surprised. When she turned on the lights of their bedroom she saw there was more than one person under the sheets.
-What the hell?
Both of them jumped off the bed, covering their nakedness.
-Seriously?- she asked.- My brother?
